Uh oh. Not only are you gonna be slammed for posting an ad and posting it in the wrong forum anyway, people are gonna make fun of vegan ice cream. You not paying for an ad here gives us vegans a bad name.

You posted the link for the definition of "cream", my link has the definition of "ice cream", and the only entry mentions milk and milk fat as components.

I'm not making fun of vegan ice cream substitutes, I have had tofutti and Soy Delicious and I like both of those products, even though I am not a vegan. I just think people should tell it like it is and not call something "ice cream" if it isn't.

I'll bet the shopkeeper can come up with a catchy name for the product and still be accurate. And then pay Adam to advertise their catchy name ------------------------- Life is....a Simpsons episode

I don't think that "Lactis" would be good- I started eating soy ice cream before I became vegan because I don't digest lactose so well, and I think there's a sect of non-vegans who eat soy (vegan) ice cream specifically for that purpose (man oh man, the Lactaid products are gross- soy ice cream is way better). "Lactis" would probably be a turn off in terms of mrketing.

It should be, but a few brands put egg whites in the sorbet. Several do it for chocolate and a few do it for all the flavors. Fuckers. But these tend to be the super corn-syrupy grocery store ones, not the better natural ones. And there's one brand (Håäâágen-Daçsz?) that uses small amounts of dairy in their chocolate sorbet. I actually read about both brands initially in allergy magazines we had at an early childhood center where I worked; people were getting pissed off because they'd told their daycares that sorbet was fine to give their kids with allergies, since they were only aware of the normal (vegan) sorbet that the higher quality brands make. Then their kids were given Håáäàgen-Daszxcszs or whatever and got poofy. Fortunately these weren't kids with severe allergies, which was probably why the parents were fine with them being fed some things that they hadn't inspected themselves.

The first soy ice cream I tried years and years ago was horrible. I had tried it as an alternative to regular ice cream since I'm lactose intolerant. At the time, I felt it better to suffer the consequences of eating real ice cream. Since that time, there have been a lot of improvements in soy ice creams (i've never tried the rice or other non-dairy types).
